“…The EIA process plays a crucial role in ensuring sustainable development and environmental protection in Indonesia (Dias et al, 2022). Through an analysis of the implementation and effectiveness of EIA in the country, it becomes evident that while positive outcomes have been observed, there are areas for improvement that need to be addressed (Wang et al, 2023). The contextual factors, such as the legal and institutional framework, stakeholder engagement, capacity and expertise, and political and socio-economic factors, significantly influence the effectiveness of the EIA process.…”

“…As countries strive to balance economic growth with environmental conservation, robust environmental policies, and regulatory frameworks become paramount. Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a crucial tool many nations employ to evaluate the potential environmental consequences of proposed projects and ensure their sustainability (Wang, Ulibarri, Scott, & Davis, 2023). This study focuses on the implementation and effectiveness of EIA within the legal framework of Indonesia, a country grappling with diverse environmental issues amidst rapid industrialization and development (Munfarida, Nilandita, & Auvaria, 2022).…”

Aim: This study examines the implementation and effectiveness of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process in Indonesia. The research aims to assess the outcomes of the EIA process by analyzing selected case studies across various sectors and regions. It also identifies contextual factors influencing EIA implementation and proposes recommendations to improve its effectiveness. Methodology: The current study employed a literature review approach to assess the implementation and effectiveness of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) in Indonesian law. Findings: The findings indicate positive outcomes in terms of impact identification and implementation of mitigation measures. However, challenges remain in stakeholder engagement, monitoring and enforcement, and integrating EIA outcomes into decision-making processes. To address these issues, recommendations are made, including strengthening the legal framework, promoting meaningful stakeholder engagement, enhancing capacity and expertise, integrating EIA outcomes into decision-making, and improving monitoring and compliance mechanisms. The study concludes by highlighting the need to consider Indonesia's unique socio-political context and environmental challenges in improving the effectiveness of the EIA process. Implications/Novel Contribution: The current study provide insights into the challenges faced by Indonesia and propose contextually appropriate recommendations to enhance the effectiveness of the EIA process.

“…On the flip side, environmental justice theory highlights that different socio-economic groups are disproportionately affected by environmental benefits and burdens. According to the hypothesis, populations that are underprivileged and marginalized experience pollution at a higher rate because they have less access to clean energy sources (Wang et al, 2023). These communities frequently reside close to businesses or power plants that produce pollution or suffer from the harmful consequences of energy production processes.…”

Amid Nigeria's economic growth and energy challenges, the escalating public debt (PB) levels and persistent energy poverty (EP) raise critical questions about their potential impacts on the environment. Given the potential conflict among economic development, EP alleviation and ecological conservation, it becomes pertinent to understand whether increased PB and efforts to address EP inadvertently contribute to or alleviate ecological imbalances within the country. Hence, this research investigates the effect of PB and EP on the load capacity factor (LCF) in Nigeria. Using the STIRPAT model and annual data from 1990 to 2021, the study explores the relationships among total PB, EP, gross domestic product per capita, urbanization and LCF. Descriptive analysis, correlation assessments and unit‐root tests precede the data analysis conducted with the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model and dynamic ARDL (DARDL) technique. Key findings reveal significant negative effects of urbanization and EP on LCF. Additionally, the ARDL and DARDL procedure highlights a positive long‐term relationship between PB and LCF. Both ARDL and DARDL analyses show a negative short‐term relationship between GDP growth per capita and LCF, signalling the need for sustainable economic practices. The study concludes with policy recommendations that aim to promote sustainable development and address ecological imbalances by tackling EP and PB challenges in Nigeria.

“…In addition, the fines and other punishments that were handed down to those who broke the law have contributed to making up for the harm that was done to the environment. 73 On the other hand, utilizing administrative and criminal sanctions both come with their own unique sets of difficulties. The slow and cumbersome nature of Brazilian legal system is one of the country's many obstacles.…”

This study aims to offer an overview of the effect of environmental law sanctions, particularly criminal sanctions for restoring environmental functions for firms, on restoring environmental functions in Indonesia and Brazil. Using conceptual techniques, statutory methodologies, and comparative legal approaches with Brazil, this study examines how norms emerge in the law. The research shows that criminal sanctions for environmental function restoration in Indonesia have not had their full intended effect and often lead to confusion over their implementation since they do not specify a means of gauging whether or not their goals have been met. This discovery also suggests that criminal consequences for environmental function restoration have not been utilized to their full potential. This is because criminal sanctions do not offer a mechanism for gauging the degree to which ecological restoration efforts have been fruitful. Brazil, which is more likely to apply administrative sanctions and has a better impact, conducts a wide range of things, including imposing fines, canceling company licenses, and other preventative steps used to anticipate excessive environmental exploitation. Brazil has taken these precautions to avoid the negative effects of environmental overexploitation. The actions are in effect to ensure that environmental exploitation does not reach unsustainable levels.
